valid_type(9)

💅 valid_type(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to valid_type(9), fresh out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of an icon for it. the whole vibe: you hand it a type, it tells you if that type is valid or not. that's it. that's the function. periodt 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

valid_type — Check if @type is valid or not. 🎀

like literally just a vibe check but for a type. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool valid_type (enum misc_res_type type );

ok so it takes one thing and gives you back a bool. that's the whole plot 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• type — misc res type. 👑 that's the one thing you're asking about, bestie. is it valid or is it not? the suspense is real 😭

---

🌈 CONTEXT 🌈

Any context. ✨

fr fr — any context. no special setup, no prerequisites, no "only call this from atomic context" drama. she's flexible like that 💜

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• true — If valid type. 👑 ate, no notes, valid icon behaviour.
• false — If not valid type. 💀 sorry bestie, that type did not pass the vibe check.
